Add URL to classpath via command line

Question

I'm trying to achieve the equivalent to this:

java.exe -cp "C:\my_test\my_jar.jar;C:\my_test\lib\*;" com.test.Main

but using an URL like this:

 java.exe -cp "http:\\192.168.1.12\my_test\my_jar.jar;http:\\192.168.1.12\my_test\lib\*;" com.test.Main

The error is: Could not find or load main class, but if I look into http:\\192.168.1.12\my_test\my_jar.jar I can see my Main class there. Is there any way I can do this via command line?

P.S: I can reach http:\\192.168.1.12\my_test\my_jar.jar via browser

Already tried that but it keeps saying Could not find or load main class. But if I try to access http:\\192.168.1.12\my_test\my_jar.jar I can see my Main class there — lucasdc

The classpath is composed of jar files and directories. Not of http URLs. You'll have to programmatically create a UrlClassLoader to load classes from a server that way. — JB Nizet
